Hoping that Clasie doesn't come, realise the squad would become super strong but that would mean less game time for very exciting players like Ruben Neves, Oliver Torres and/or Evandro, Carlos Eduardo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arroto 1,098 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Re: PORTUGAL – 1st and 2nd Division extensive thread - Discussion Thread Thx for the compliments' date=' NDF!Tbh Rafa wasn't particularly inspired against Boavista. He's still being used on the wing. He helped out more than usual, defensively. Some good passes here and there, but he isn't in his element on the wing. He never really made the difference in 1 on 1 situations. Still 1st game of the season, though. PS: I'm launching a petition to end the league tomorrow, if neither Arouca and Estoril pass us on the table. They're only (far) superior to us in 1 thing: debt. We're a financially sustainable club btw, unlike the vast majority of Portuguese clubs. [/quote'] Was actually expecting a big money sale in the summer, namely Rafa or Aderllan or Eder. Still am frankly despite the fact his (Rafa) salary just got raised. We got a huge influx of young Brazilian stars with the help of that weird player fund which I know very little about.... But our best player acquisition will be Tiba from Vitória , good game yesterday EDIT: Apparently according to Turkish press Ruben Micael out to Besiktas for 4M (Braga has 50% of the player) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fast player, but can set the tempo and his technique is good. I think SM should review his position - he should be M / AM ©, but he's AM / F ®. You know how it is mate, as Braga fans, we're always expecting to sell someone. Tbh with you, I'd prefer to see Rafa sold rather than Santos. He's our best defender, by far, and he's so important to keep things stable at the back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno much about him tbh, NDF. But Estoril are gonna need some depth this season, especially if they make it into Europa League's group stage. Si if he's any good, he should get decent game time, this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not 100% sure' date=' but i believe #1 GK for Braga this season will be Matheus, as long as some burocratic problems get solved. i thought Mane had been playing RW last season though?i definitely thought he would be first choice starter this season too Yes, he played on the wing most of the times, but he did a great job the few times he played AMC. However, things are not looking good for him this season, he did not feature in last match and he will now face more competition, top competition actually, as Nani is really going to play for Sporting this season. Carrilo is in top form for the wings, and for AMC, both André Martins and João Mário (or even Montero, i see him as an AMC, not a CF...) are infront of Mané. He will struggle eventually, but let's see what happens. He has quality. argala 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've had a bid accepted for him in a competitive GW and just wanted a bit more info on him. Cheers Looked terrible in pre-season and was overtaken by a stiff from France. He was highly touted before arriving at Sporting though, so maybe this could be just early issues of dealing with the pressure of his new club. Thing is, Sporting are looking to add another centre back. Milosevic from AIK. It doesn't look like he will be first choice, although his competition is very dubious. Since you say it's a competitive world, sell him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
